My best habit is not to compare myself to others

Describe one habit that brings you joy.

Whatever we do in life, we do it to find happiness, but unfortunately being happy seems to be a very difficult task. We think that to be happy there should be certain conditions, only then we can be happy. But it is not so. Every person has some habits that can make him feel happy in himself. When we were children, we were happy by default. The source of happiness is within us, we can make it a living experience forever.

I also have a habit that always makes me feel happy. That is not to compare myself with others. In my childhood, when I used to insist on buying something after seeing it from others, my parents used to teach me that not everyone can have everything. That is why I have now developed this habit that I have learned to be happy with whatever I have. When I see others being sad, I think that this habit of mine is no less than a gift for me.

We always feel that our own qualities are less in comparison to the qualities of others. We feel jealous of the other person or his successes under the influence of the other person and many people change this habit considering it as their weakness. People always keep comparing themselves with others. This process is not from today but has been going on for centuries. People think that if others have something then you should also have it. If someone else’s house is big then you should also have a big house. But is this comparison pleasant? If you are getting inspiration from any comparison then it can be right. But if you look at this comparison in a wrong way then you will always consider yourself less and smaller than others. This increases negativity in your mind. According to an old saying, “Be sad at the happiness of others instead of being sad at your own sorrow.” In such a situation, your achievements always seem less than others and that is why you start considering yourself inferior.

I have a very big circle of friends, but I consider myself my best friend. No one can be a better friend than yourself because you know what is right and what is wrong for you. When you compare yourself with yourself, you never get disappointed and it also inspires you to become better than before. That is why you should spend some time with yourself. Only then will you know how good a person you are.
